Routines are comforts for soul and body. I like routines, often thinking of their return as encouragement for the present. The best routines are rituals, those acts of daily liturgy we create to bring joy and meaning to living. The choicest of these is those we share with a loved one. My lover and I have several and most of those are done holding hands. I once read a book, “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” by Robert Fulghum. One of the things he listed was to hold hands. I took that to heart. We love to fling ourselves to prolonged abandonment and often do but we always abide by our daily rituals and those I look forward to the most involve me and her holding hands.
PS: Good marriage advice. The last thing to do before going to sleep is hold hands and pray out loud. We have done this since the day we married. It resolves a lot of things.
